NORIKURA,Huge Heights in Japan is inaccessible but Much GOODS.

When I talk about NORIKURA to around,almost every people think of “no idea,where is it??” or so.

I often visited NORIKURA from days of university student with my friend,
I think them,”Why do you not know NORIKURA??”& get lucky not to know the place.（only me know the special place!）.

NORIKURA HEIGHTS is so far from TOKYO & NAGOYA too.
Because of it, there is “peacefulness”,”clean”,”delicate”,”depth of natural things”,positive feelings against “CITY DAYS”（It make me too tired &tire…）

Probably,I think it is the most wonderful place near TOKYO & Cities around.
Because of the hardle that It takes almost an hour from Matsumoto[Center of NAGANO] by car with no signals through the way,
NORIKURA is the SUPER SPA RESORT that doesn’t be laid wasted by many People.

 

KATSUNUMA – JAPANESE FAMOUS WINERY in YAMANASHI –

KATSUNUMA is Grape-Hill-Spot with an hour freeway drive from TOKYO,there is many winery.I dropped in KATSUNUMA in the way NORIKURA for the first time.
and I take a stop at [cheateu KATSUNUMA] &[HILLs of WINE] two big spot.I see their Panels stand by the roads.It Makes me feel”that spot is much special isn’t it!”

Tasting some of them,I don’t feel better than European（specially French,Italy,Spanish Wines）and new world’s（NZ,Southern America etc）.
KATSUNUMA’s wine is a little sweet &less tannin.But it is the Journey.Not always fit me through it.

Go & Go toward the MOUNTAIN!

It it much fun of driving to NAGANO area through CHUO-FREEWAY（according to famous song by YUMING!）.I feel much doubt why I live in TOKYO through this high-way-driving.This is the reason why I go to outside of TOKYO Area.

I challenged Petit Treck to SAMBON-DAKI

NORIKURA’s spot,for example,SPA,Height,Treck,Cycling,of course we can Ski&Snowboards in winter.SAMBON-DAKI means “Three-Water-Falls”.There are three water fall in one spot in the little deep forest in the Height.the Gate to the falls is BUS STOP too. From this point to TATAMIDAIRA -top of the Mt.NORIKURA- we have to take only official Bus-line so that saving rare things living in high lands.

 

Petit Trech with 15〜20min half way

the Path to falls is so pretty than thought,so it is OK with not so Heavy Duty Wearable.But there is a little snow on the way,You may take Trecking Shoes.It gets deeper,seeing a Traditional Bridge over billing flow.I felt the Air smooth to my body,& woody aroma.This makes me much settle.

 

SAMBON-DAKI is wonderful spot with much minus IONS

It is very Powerful, the water fall.The water is falling each way from separate flows into this area.I get my feeling so refreshed.There is no sounds except falling water.

 

“Nothing” is the Gift to me

Without no brash spot,I get relaxed with natural atmosphere.It is why I love NORIKURA.Less the artificial,the more special to me.I feel,I am a part of nature in this place.”Nothingness” make me very &very relaxed.
